I originally thought, with one single notable exception of
Makefile, having the identically named file in many different

I disagree with that myself now.  The kernel tree has many
files with the same basename (e.g. arch/*/kernel/irq.c).

It is a different issue if they are good delta base candidates
with each other, though.
